a lonesome flower in a field of other peoples dreams(Arnold Melleby, 09.19.2024)
flood me
so I can come up, and breathe
wake up, morning star
the devil`s treat
comes through easy venom
a little bite
is all it takes
dressed in nothing but a cigarette
lit up by the moon
draped in a sky as it has never been seen
by others
apart from the ones
that ended up in a shallow grave
far away from Texas
a lonesome flower in a field of other peoples dreams
is what I am
a lonesome flower in a field of other peoples dreams
is what I have become
I ain`t no crowd-pleaser
but little do they know
I slowly died that night
they all went home
smiles on their faces
while I went back out
and let the devil in
always and forever
sounds great from afar
and impossible to unlove
I had time to kill
and you had a licence to thrill
leaving nothing to waste
you sure gave me a taste
a lonesome flower in a field of other peoples dreams
is what I am
a lonesome flower in a field of other peoples dreams
is what I have become
a lonesome flower in a field of other peoples dreams
is what I am
a lonesome flower in a field of other peoples dreams
is what I have become
I still feel that I should have the last word
I am here forever
everyone else
is here on borrowed time
next time you see a lonesome flower
on an open field
that flower
may be me
